Fort Collins police are investigating after a woman’s body was found Thursday morning in a gas station parking lot at College Avenue and Harmony Road.

A customer at the Schrader’s Country Store found the woman in the southeast parking lot shortly before 7 a.m. The gas station remained open for business as police began to fill the parking lot to investigate the woman’s death. Police said there were no obvious signs of foul play and said there was no immediate danger to the community.

“It doesn’t look like there’s any foul play,” said Sgt. Joel Tower.

Tower said, given the circumstances, toxicology results from the autopsy may be required to determine how she died.

Fort Collins police said the Larimer County Coroner’s Office would rule on a cause and manner of death. Toxicology testing often takes about six weeks.
